Eighth prahar — late night · 03:00–06:00
Sohni
सोहनी
The raga of the night's last watch — Marwa thaat, Pa and Re omitted in ascent, soaring in the upper octave with komal Re touched only in descent. Carries the viraha longing of the Sohni-Mahiwal legend.

Dosha effect
Vata ±0 · Pitta -1 · Kapha -1(−2 pacifies · +2 aggravates)
A pre-dawn raga that lives in the upper octave — its soaring tar-saptak call stirs the body out of late-night kapha toward waking.
